Lately I've been playing a couple of games, Arcade Paradise and the last (at least for a long time) Saints Row. Well, I've finished the first one and it won't be long before I beat the second one, and that made me start thinking about what to play nest. I only know one thing for sure, that I want a game with a proper story.

So, checking the games I have on the Epic Store (i'm giving Steam a rest), I found two that I think could fill the bill: Dragon Age Inquisition and Pillars of Eternity. Plus they're also very different from the two games I've been playing, which is a plus.

And now comes the reason I'm posting all this: have you played any of them? Any thoughts, recomendations, Pros & Cons?

If you have Baldur's Gate III (not the first two) I'd start with that over Pillars of Eternity, since it has very similar party building and class mechanics but it's fully turn-based gameplay while Pillars is semi-turn-based; you have to actually position your characters in real-time while pausing in-between (like Dragon Age), which can be annoying to manage when you're learning for the first time.

Hows everyone's performance with Oblivion Remastered?

My Ryzen 5950 seems to be coping just fine, nowhere near using all of my Ram, still got 90GB+ free.
But the little RX6600 of mine is definitely in struggle land. - 1440P, Medium, no Ray Tracing and using XESS performance... Using VRR and going from 40-60fps.

Been doing some GPU window shopping... First game I have truly felt the need to upgrade for in years. - The 7800XT is good value right now at $749 or the 9070 at $1050 which offers up to 50% more performance...
I really don't want to pay $1,000 AUD for a GPU, rather spend less and upgrade more often when the need arises, miss the days when I could grab a high performing Radeon 6950 for $400 AUD...

Yeah. I have started being stingy on GPU's since COVID and the Crypto booms.

If the 9070 GRE gets a worldwide release that will probably land under $1000 AUD with performance close to a 5070. That seems like your best bet.

Or you could wait to see what Intel plans to release with the rest of their Battlemage lineup later this year.
